Wow...I believe Union was up 3-1 after 2 in that one...

Minnesota skating circles around Notre Dame every time I change the channel to that game...BC and BU in a good battle...those two teams really don't care for each other.

BC in their ugly gold jerseys and BU in red...can't recall the last time I saw BC in white...

PM gfhockey for the answer.

I might be able to get the FSN alternate here in WI...not sure though.

Should be a great weekend of hockey as both coaches are fighting for their jobs early on in the season - Mike Eaves' group stands at 0-4 while Hakstol's team sports an equally disappointing 5-1-1 mark. Anything less than a sweep by either team could result in a head coach being fired on Monday morning or at the very least, their fan website crashing. Drop the puck!

UMD @ St Cloud on FSN...Notre Dame at Minnesota on B10N...and Boston U @ BC on NBCSN...that's a good night of college hockey!

I know that that's what he meant but it's just absurd how many people don't understand the difference between a mascot and a logo.

Student athletes are struggling because UND doesn't have one of THESE standing behind it? Really?

What does 2009 have to do with 2013? Vokoun basically played every game after game #4 of the 2013 quarterfinal series with the Islanders. Given how poorly Fleury had been playing, it's a stretch to assume that the Penguins were going to advance to the conference finals no matter which goalie played. Had that been the case, Bylsma wouldn't have made the switch in the all-important game #5 of a 2-2 series with the Islanders.

In 2008 and 2009, a certain school in Texas went 4-8 and 4-8. In the same two seasons, another school in Texas finished 12-1 and 13-1. By the end of the 2013 season, just four years later, one of those schools would have a Heisman Trophy winner added to its list of accomplishments and the other one would force its coach to resign in lieu of being fired. This season, one of those schools is 7-1 while the other is 4-5. Obviously, its Baylor who must be currently operating under a new coach and struggling with a 4-5 record, right? And Texas must have another Heisman sitting in its trophy case while rolling along at 7-1. Right? How does that saying go again, Sicatoka? "How things are today is how they'll always be"? Yea, I think that's it.

http://www.bcinterruption.com/2012/6/28/3110587/conference-realignment-hockey-east-uconn-notre-dame-boston-college This is just one article but if memory serves me right, BC administration was not at all in favor of UConn joining Hockey East. There's also quite a bit of resentment over the special treatment Notre Dame is getting in the conference with their NBCSN TV deal.

Wow! I know there was quite a bit of opposition to UConn joining Hockey East - talk about a signature win for the program.

I'm not sure how many exactly, but probably more than you can shake a stick at.

I was just gonna drop a hint and say that the top-secret location rhymes with schmoggsbreath so as to not completely give it away, but thanks for letting the cat out of the bag.

I made the trek to Houghton ten years ago...still one of my favorite road trips of all time.

While the private jet is available for use, it makes more sense for the group to meet in the TC area and not fly up to EGF.

The %gobc?

I'm not assuming anything...but still curious why you picked Detroit over a city with 1,500+ shooting victims thus far in 2014 to compare to Fargo...

So .357 is automatically labeled a "racist" because you know what you read, but the "new Detroit" reference doesn't reflect any racial undertones? What if Governor Dalrymple was quoted as saying he was concerned about Fargo becoming the "new Gary, Indiana" or "the new Memphis"? I'm guessing you'd think differently...

I've never thought of myself as anything less than an American. It's only in the last 20 years or so that it became important to hyphenate yourself.

And most African-Americans I know have never been anywhere near Africa. I'm half Italian and the closest I have been to Italy is Providence, RI. For a lot of eye-ties I know, it's Olive Garden. What's your point?

I've spent lots of time in Detroit and never had a problem anywhere. What do you feel makes it so bad compared to Chicago?

I don't think many folks would disagree with you on most, if not all, of your points. For me specifically, it's the "we're six minutes into the game and it's still 0-0? What the hell is Hakstol doing?" crowd that gets on my nerves.
